Hello
I saw no Bottom feeders in this section so figured I would place one. Below is a S&W Model 61-2 that is chambered in .22 L.R. Caliber.this model was made in Three variation's for a short time being the Early 1970's and by the late 1970's S&W stopped making them due to feeding issues. :mad: I have Heard the No Dash early models were the Ones that had feeding problems, but I have never experienced one feed issue with this one.I Picked this up for my Wife and she now carries it in her Purse where ever she travels outside our home..

Hammer, what ammo do you find works the best in your 61? Have heard about the feeding problems but always figured there was a reason? :) NICE PIECE!!! :)

Hello Tusker
I have fired Nothing but CCI through it and not had any feed issues what so ever with it... Hammerdown

I use CCI in mine and it's never burped. I am trying to talk my wife into putting it in her purse (she's an OR RN and the hospital's in a not-so-good location) - we'll see.
